$= (3 a + b) (x + y)$ $color(magenta)(=(3a+b)(x+y)$

$3 a x + 3 a y + b x + b y$ $3ax+3ay+bx+by$

Grouping the $1^{s t} 2$ $1^(st) 2$ terms together and the $2^{n d} 2$ $2^(nd) 2$ together

$= 3 a (x + y) + b (x + y)$ $=3a(x+y)+b(x+y)$

$= (3 a + b) (x + y)$ $color(magenta)(=(3a+b)(x+y)$

~Hope this helps! :)
